<package name="net-dialup/freeradius" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>
FreeRADIUS is a popular open source RADIUS server.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
FreeRADIUS versions below 0.9.3 are vulnerable to a heap exploit, however,
the attack code must be in the form of a valid RADIUS packet which limits
the possible exploits.
</p>
<p>
Also corrected in the 0.9.3 release is another vulnerability which causes
the RADIUS server to de-reference a NULL pointer and crash when an
Access-Request packet with a Tunnel-Password is received.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could craft a RADIUS packet which would cause the RADIUS
server to crash, or could possibly overflow the heap resulting in a system
compromise.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
Users are encouraged to perform an 'emerge sync' and upgrade the package to
the latest available version - 0.9.3 is available in portage and is marked
as stable.
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv '&gt;=net-dialup/freeradius-0.9.3'
# emerge '&gt;=net-dialup/freeradius-0.9.3'
# emerge clean</code>
